The definition of madness is to repeat the same actions but expect a different result. The decision by EirGrid to submit a similar planning application to the one it withdrew exactly 5 years ago (June 2010) is a classic example of arrogance, discrimination, lack of accountability and a contempt for genuine public concerns.

Briefing Document: In light of recent activities by EirGrid NEPPC will be challenging EirGrid, the IEP and the Government on the unacceptable discrimination against the North-South interconnector project combined with an inequitable and biased public consultation process.

A significant body of research over the years has been performed in relation to the health effects of electric and magnetic fields associated with extra high voltage lines. In this Document NEPP looks at some of this research and examines what Eirgrid has to say about the issue.
